During the early '90s, whiin the democrats were lact at the helm. It was about the site of a tart wheel. Cummins and Unity. As a conspicuous leader of the re publican progressives, who during the recent contests In congress went by the name of Insurgents, Senator Cum mins of Iowa fairly and fully strikes the keynote of sane advice when he eays: "It would be the extreme of madness to vote for a democratic candidate for congress, for although he be honest, It would rob the country of Its surest safeguard." This Is precisely the point which, in this campaign as never before, repub licans in particular and others In gen eral who believe in progressive prin ciples of government, want to keep before them. It Is well for one of Senator Cummins' position In the forum of politics to help all people to understand that the republican lead ers, by whatever name they, may be known In this contest, are advocating republican policies and the Vlection of a republican congress as . the only means of carrying out those policies. Democrats themselves do" not pre tend to believe that In the event of their controlling the next house they could or would accomplish anything beyond a neutralization of . forward legislation. Is that what the country needs, or what It wishes? The safe guard of which Senator Cummins speaks is not a policy of , negation or nullification. It is a policy of progress and action, of positive legialatlon con tinuing the' good that has been begun and carried on uuder the Roosevelt and Taft administrations.;, Those who are seeking to promote democratic suc cess la this election are not doing ao with any notion of poslutive results, but all negative. They do not want further tariff revision or-' further re form legislation In other directions, as they know they will get if the re publicans retain control. Senator Cummins has spoken out. and if all the leaders will take up this slogan, sounded first by President Taft, they can prevent the country from losing this "surest safeguafd" of Its continued prosperity. . Is the Joke on Peary f Ten years ago Robert K. Peary iwae given a leave of absence from the navy for a decade with the understanding that he would em ploy his time in Arctic exploration. He, of course, had the north pole as bis objective point. Now, Just as he has convinced many people at the ftlose of his vacation period that, he has reached the goal of his ambition and his quest, conies the laconic state ment, as If by a voice from the tomb, that an Oxford friar discovered the north pole back in loCO. Haraswed by the claims of Dr. Cook and the criticism of skeptical scholars, Captain Peary must feel now 4lke ex claiming In the vernacular of the time, "What's the use?" This Oxford friar, we are told, finding time hanging heavily on his hands one day, struck off north with a small party to see if he could locate the pole. It seems to have buen as much a subject of specu lation then as now. He and his party wended their way to a very northerly materially changed, with the result that the old districts have become un equal and unfair. All the political parties In their plat forms this year promise redisricting by the next legislature, although the republican platform Is more emphatic, pledging the governor to call an extra session of the legislature for thla pur pose If the Job is not done in the reg ular session. While apparently redistrictlng is a simple task calling only for the ascer tainment of the total population of the state and division by 33 to get the number entitled to a member of the I senate and by 100 to get the number i entitled to a member of the house, It always opens the way for Juggling and gerrymandering If the political party in control Is so disposed. If the demo crats control the next legislature, we will have a democratic redistrictlng, and the notorious unscrupulousnesa of democratic partisanship makes It cer tain that the democrats would go th limit to carve out an apportionment designed to make democratic districts. If we are to have even an approxi mately fair apportionment, we will have to have it from a republican gov ernor and legislature. The impor tance of this point should not be un derestimated by republicans when they vote at the coming election. If County Attorney Knglish is to have a life tenure of office we might as well change the law and save him the trouble of re-election every two years. James E. Rait, the republican nominee, could handle the office just as well, and better, than Mr. English. Senator Cummins publicly declares that nothing is to be gained for prog ress or reform by turning either house of congress over to the democrats. Senator Cummins Is certainly as good a progressive as Mr. Wbedon. .Mote mi'fk and humble people, arrttated ! made Up the DOuaia neicgatiou irj mr i tl, ,ie vetsr of slilveis. satlier III tr.e New Totk cii!lonis houe these days than i las been seen In the bit; city tdm-e the euBpenmon or democratic oip nouses.

Between 1 and 2 per cent of our timber was destroyed by forest fires this year. The amount In lumber was 6,000,000,000 feet and in money $15,000,000. The flames covered about 1,250,000 acres of land and de stroyed scores of lives and many small towns and villages. What la the use to talU of the oppos ing principles of conservation so long aa we tolerate such devastation? It Is criminally wrong to permit this mon umental waste of natural resources. Six billion feet of thla timber is equal to twelve years' tut, we are told. How long at such a rate would It be before we had very little resources of this character to conserve? it may be that our government needed this awful sacrifice of life and property to teach it the lesson it has to learn of protecting Its forests. If so, the cost is nonetheless dear. Yet It would seem somewhat strange, too, If this were true, with so many patri otic experts In this and that school of saving resources at hand. It Is incon ceivable that a government as alert as ours is has not by now learned tol erably well what the prime causes of these forest fires are. That being done the remedy conies next, it is not so certain that the government has as definitely decided on that, however, but it must without further delay. If It lies In an adequate enlargement of the forest ranger service, let this be done forthwith, for forest fires are not entirely seasonable affairs and they may break out before the protection cotnes. All the conservation we might practice upon which of the various systems we decide Is beat can avail little morally or economically If the hazard of destructive fires is not les sened or removed.

"The plaintiff," said the Judge, "has clung stolidly to the simplicity of their early life, when they were struggling against poverty, while the defendant has broadened In his views and alms con comitantly with the growth of his wealth, and the Importance of his business. "While this may account for much of the disagreement between the parties. It does not detract from the wife's right to be supported In accordance with the means, and to live at peace in their com mon home, and if, as appears to be the case here, she is compelled to live else where, she Is entitled to adequate main tenance, pending the trial of her suit for separation."

When the democratic World-Herald la 101 declared that it was "close to Bartley,'? ' th embeizling republican atate treasurer, no one expected Editor Hitchcock to admit that at that very moment he had some of Hartley's stealings In Ms pocket. out, and he proceeded until he found the long-lost pole. He made draughts and notations of his Journey and dis covery, but, perhaps, never thinking that his word would be brought into question, overlooked the detail of rounding up a few Eskimo witnesses with gum drops. So, in the course of time, his records were misplaced and the whole thing dropped from mind. It must, therefore, be exasperating to a man who has spent ten yars looking for a thing and, when he lias about convinced people that he has found It, lie told that another man beat him to the discovery by several centuries. Why did not those who had . knowledge of . this adventurous old friar's trick make It known In time to soften the asperity of the Cook- Peary controversy and prevent all these hard feelings? Somehow their failure to do thla and their belated dis closure smacks of unfair play. We be lieve It will not have the effect of discrediting what Captain Peary at least tried to do.

The captain w as sent one morning to quell a riot of bargain-mad w omen at tho opening ot a new "lovely things at 1 cent and nothing over a quarter" store on Broadway, near Flushlna avenue, Brook lyn.
